Every time we see our Desi girl Priyanka Chopra, there’s just one question that floats in our mind – is there anything she can’t do? From releasing her own singles, making celebrities go gaga over her to owning Hollywood like a boss, she has compelled the world to bow down in front of her, proving that her charm is irresistible. Recently, Priyanka announced that she will get into the shoes of a producer for ABC Studios for an American series based on the life of Madhuri Dixit. Only time will tell how the sparks will fly when our beloved Dhak-Dhak girl and Desi girl come together for a project. Having said that, Priyanka has now added another feather to her hat of achievements, after she turned into a celebrity judge for ABC’s ‘The Gong Show’.

‘The Gong Show’ is an amateur talent contest, which is popular for its absurdist humour and style. The episode will be aired on August 17 and in all honesty, we couldn’t take our eyes off Priyanka’s red hot avatar. Priyanka was joined by Joel McHale and Wendi McLendon-Covey as fellow judges for the show, where the bizarre losing acts are celebrated more than the winners.

Reportedly, she will be judging acts like teenage twins impersonating President Donald Trump and Vice President Pence, and duo performing acrobats while playing the ukulele, to name a few. From appearing as a host on popular programs like ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, ‘The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon’ and ‘The Jimmy Kimmel Show’ to becoming a celebrity judge, Priyanka has come a long way and there is nothing that can stop her from becoming the next big thing in Hollywood. The ‘Quantico’ and ‘Baywatch’ actress is now gearing up for two big Hollywood projects, one with Liam Hemsworth called ‘Isn’t It Romantic’ and the other titled ‘A Kid Like Jake’. She is also going to start working on the third season of ‘Quantico’.

If Shah Rukh Khan is the baadshah of Bollywood, then actor Manoj Tiwari is the king of the Bhojpuri films. So when the two kings crossed path with each other, sparks flew and how! Shah Rukh Khan is busy with the promotions of his upcoming film ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ and recently visited Varanasi with the movie’s leading lady Anushka Sharma and Director Imtiyaz Ali. While, we have often seen SRK dance on the tunes of Bollywood songs and hum them as well, watching him sing a Bhojpuri number was definitely a shocking surprise for all of us. As expected, the crowd burst into cheers and hoots as he went on his knees and started singing ‘Lollypop Lagelu’ for Anushka Sharma. Check out the video, where Manoj Tiwari teaches SRK the lyrics of the song.

Stop everything and watch Harry singing for Sejal in ‘Bhojpuri’. P.S. All thanks to Manoj Tiwari @iamsrk @AnushkaSharma #JHMSInVaranasi

Honestly, we were having a lot of fun watching the king of romance sing one of the sleaziest songs ever made, and sheepishly singing them in our minds as well. But, the actor’s excitement was at the pinnacle and he didn’t really want to stop at singing (or attempting to sing) just one song. So he went ahead and grooved on some other Bhojpuri hits along with Tiwari who was singing the songs.

If you loved the song ‘Jabra Fan’ from SRK’s movie ‘Fan’, then we are sure you will love this Bhojpuri version too and the fact that he was dancing on this song was like a cherry on the cake.

Our childhood was pretty much sorted, actually great, thanks to some uber cool cars that had the power to transform into gigantic autobots. For those who didn’t get the hint by now, we are talking about our beloved Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Barricade and Megatron. The 2007 American science fiction thriller is etched in our memories for many reasons and yes Megan Fox is a part of it. Having said that, Paramount Pictures has prepared an amazing Christmas present for all you fans out there, something that even Santa can’t gift you – the first ‘Transformers’ spinoff film ‘Bumblebee’. Yes, it’s finally happening and we can’t tell you how excited we are for this. However, what’s more exciting is that WWE Superstar John Cena is going to be a part of star cast.

This spinoff film will focus on Bumblebee, an autobot that transforms into a yellow and black Camaro in the first movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, along with John Cena, we’ll see actress Hailee Steinfeld play the lead role of Charlie, an 18-year-old girl who discovers the battle-scarred and broken Bumblebee, only to realize it is no ordinary car. The rest of the cast includes names like Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Jason Drucker, Abby Quinn, Rachel Crow, Ricardo Hoyos and Gracie Dzienny. The movie is set in the year 1987, in the backdrop of a small California beach town.

Christina Hodson has written the script and Travis Knight is helming this project. After its 2017 release ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ garnered mixed reviews from the audience and critics alike, it will be interesting to see how this spinoff manages to capture their attention. Steven Spielberg will be the executive producer for this film along with Chris Brigham. Remember how we told you that Paramount has prepared a Christmas surprise for us, it seems we’ll have to wait for a year because the movie will release on December 21st, 2018. However, ‘Bumblebee’ has some serious competition ahead of it, since DC Comics’ ‘Aquaman’ starring Jason Momoa is releasing around the same time.

Whenever we talk about the chocolate boys of Bollywood, Ali Zafar is one name that makes it to the list of every movie buff. His boyish charm, innocent and baby face makes us drool every single time he comes in the frame. His crazy fan following is no joke and the fact that he is an amazing singer, makes women go weak in their knees. He doesn’t even need to sing ‘Palat Meri Jaan’ for us, since we already have our eyes glued on him.  

All set for #humstyleawards

While we were busy humming and dancing on his tunes, Zafar was busy working out and these pictures are giving us some serious fitness goals. From a cute boy-next-door to a handsome hunk who is raising the temperature with his body, Zafar is looking killer AF and we won’t be surprised if his fan following now multiplies manifold. His fitness regime and gym pictures are making us jealous and motivated at the same time. Here’s how he looks now.

He is one actor who knows how to respect women and doesn’t hold himself back from appreciating the girl power.  

Women can give us strength that we can’t. With my trainer Tania when in Lahore. Go girl!

If you haven’t noticed already, in the previous picture he was holding an 8 kg dumbbell in one hand and 10kg weight in the other and the internet isn’t a place where things go unnoticed easily. As expected, people were quick to notice this and started questioning him. Well, we don’t know about other celebs, but Zafar wasn’t someone to leave any room for confusion. So, he actually went ahead and gave an explanation for why he was using two different dumbbells and has won our hearts again.

The mystery to the 8 & 10 dumbbells? 🙂 Fractured my left wrist and elbow a few months back pushing me back to a point where I couldn’t even lift 2 kgs after my basic recovery. It was a long struggle to get to here with the support of my trainers. This technique is to balance the strength and size of the left arm with a slightly heavier weight. Gym buffs would know. So about time everybody hits the gym and live it up 😉

Bollywood and its fixation with prisons and the life of inmates has been continuing for decades now. Yet the way new directors are experimenting with this concept is something to look forward to. Recently, we came across Yash Raj Films' ‘Qaidi Band' starring Aadar Jain and Anya Singh. The movie talks about a bunch of innocent undertrials who form an orchestra inside the jail. But, will their story be similar to Kishen Mohan Girhotra's fight for freedom? For those wondering who is Kishen, he is none other than our Bollywood's rockstar Farhan Akhtar who will play a jail inmate in the upcoming movie ‘Lucknow Central'. The trailer of this much-anticipated film is out and by the looks of it, audience can expect something new and different from this movie. Farhan sheds his rockstar-on-stage avatar but does not lose his musical connect and that's one of the reasons why we are eagerly awaiting this film.

The story plot is simple yet intriguing. Akhtar plays an aspiring singer from Moradabad, who gets accused of murder and ends up in Lucknow Central Jail awaiting trial for a death penalty. While in jail, he crosses paths with Diana Penty, who plays an NGO worker and wants to form a Band of Prisoners for a band competition. Farhan befriends 4 other inmates and thus ensues their struggle to break free from prison. How the protagonist's life progresses inside the jail premises and how music comes to their aid weaves the rest of the plot. Farhan Akhtar looks really convincing as the small town boy who is falsely accused of murder and although we couldn't figure out much about Diana Penty's character, she will definitely be someone to look forward to.  The surprise element was actor Ronit Roy who within the first few seconds won our hearts with his badassery.

The movie also stars Gippy Grewal, Deepak Dobriyal, Ravi Kishan and Rajesh Sharma among others and is slated to release on 15th September, 2017.

Tom Hardy is one of the most handsome and finest actors in Hollywood. But, if someone asks us to describe Hardy in a sentence or two, we'd probably explain him as an actor who prefers to keep most of his face hidden in movies. Pick any movie ‘The Revenant', ‘Mad Max: Fury Road', or ‘The Dark Knight Rises', Tom is always seen hiding his face either with some shield or beard. We guess Director Christopher Nolan was quick to pick this success mantra after his villainous character ‘Bane' got amazing reviews. So, in the recently released ‘Dunkirk', Nolan followed the pattern and hid his face…again. We guess even Hardy has come to expect that if he wants to be a part of Nolan's movies, he might have to cover his face.

Why? Why would Christopher Nolan do that to such a handsome face? While we all were constantly thinking about this, it seems that our queries have reached Nolan as he decided to shed some light on it. Nolan told the Press Association, “I was pretty thrilled with what he did in ‘The Dark Knight Rises' with two eyes and couple of eyebrows and a bit of forehead so I thought let's see what he can do with no forehead, no real eyebrows, maybe one eye.”

Now we know why the British Air Force Spitfire Pilot does not remove his mask and only shows his eyes in the movie 'Dunkirk', which is set in the backdrop of World War 2. Nolan further added, “Of course Tom, being Tom, what he does with single eye acting is far beyond what anyone else can do with their whole body, that is just the unique talent of the man, it's extraordinary.”

Tom Hardy has such a pretty face that every movie he's in has to come up with reasons to cover it up so people don't just kiss him on sight.

— Emily V Gordon (@emilyvgordon) May 26, 2015

In fact, once Nolan had written about the character, he knew there was only one man he wanted for this role – Tom Hardy. In a report published in USA Today, he said “I don't write with actors in mind, because I think that somewhat does them a disservice. But once it was done, I could only see Tom in it. So I called him and begged…in a dignified manner.” Nolan knew that Hardy would fit the bill perfectly and we are not disappointed with his choices or decisions at all.

Is this image from the set of his new movie? Is it some photo shoot he was a part of? Is this a fake image? No, this is actually beloved actor Nicolas Cage, who wore the flamboyant traditional clothing during his visit to Kazakhstan. He attended the 13th Annual Eurasia International Festival and also posed alongside the nation's first lady, Sara Nazarbayeva. While, the whole world was wondering why Cage was wearing what he was wearing, his poker face was proof enough that he was having similar thoughts as well.

If we were given a chance where we could live out one day like our favourite stars, I am sure most of us would pick Cage aka our debonair treasure hunter as the ideal option. We don't think there's anything that this man can't do. One minute he romances the beautiful Diane Kruger, other minute he wears traditional attire and becomes a meme that we won't get over anytime soon. Considering the savage platform that Twitter is, it was hard to let this picture get lost in the ocean called the Internet. As expected they expressed their concerns aka thoughts aka creative ideas in their own brutal way and spared none in the process. Not even the Pope or President Donald Trump.

After giving us blockbusters like ‘Namastey London', ‘Aankhen', ‘Waqt', ‘Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty', and ‘Singh Is Kinng'; Vipul Shah is all set to wear the director's cap for his upcoming project ‘Namastey Canada'. We know what y'all might be thinking about – is this movie a sequel to ‘Namastey London'? No, this movie does not connect any loose threads left in the 2007 hit film. Vipul has shortlisted Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra as the lead pair of the movie and we are losing our minds already because this couple was on fire in ‘Ishaqzaade' with guns, action and revenge.

Sharing his excitement about the film, Vipul said “I would love to thank Akshay for standing with me and showing tremendous grace in giving me the title ‘Namastey Canada'. I am very happy that Arjun and Parineeti have agreed to join me in this journey and I hope that this film can become one of their best outings.” The actors who are reuniting after a gap of 5 years are equally kicked about this project. Arjun who is working with Vipul for the first time said, “I'm super excited to be a part of this very special film. I've enjoyed all of Vipul sir's films – Aankhen, Waqt, most certainly Namastey London.” He further added, “It's exciting that after working with giants like Mr. Bachchan and Akshay Kumar, he's chosen me for his next directorial venture.”

While we were trying to figure out what the movie is all about, Parineeti gave a sneak-peek and it's now getting harder for us to wait for this movie to release, “‘Namastey Canada' is exactly the film I was looking for! It's desi with a videsi heart (or maybe videsi with a desi heart!).” “Arjun and I are so so excited to get this party on the floor. We will be playing to our Punjabi strengths but speak to the global audience,” she further added.

If one was to pick an actress with the most killer body in Bollywood, we guess we all will unanimously vote in favour of the gorgeous Katrina Kaif. From ‘Chikni Chameli' to ‘Kala Chashma', every song has made us swoon over her and got us envious of that sexy midriff at the same time. However, those sexy abs are no joke and definitely weren't made in a day, since everyone knows how hard working the actress is, be it on the sets or in the gym.

Katrina Kaif's Unbelievable Push-Ups On Set

Currently, Katrina is busy shooting for ‘Tiger Zinda Hai' in Morocco. However, despite her busy schedule, she did not give her exercise routine a miss and after looking at her workout video, we can now say (with a deep sigh) that we can never get a body like hers. She recently posted a video on her Instagram where she is seen performing some unimaginable push-ups. You might be wondering, what's so special about doing push-ups? Well she was doing it without using her hands. Yes, even gravity was in awe of this Bollywood beauty and let her defy it in the most kickass way. Here's the video.

A post shared by Katrina Kaif (@katrinakaif) on Jul 24, 2017 at 7:58am PDT

For those who were a few minutes late to register in their minds what really happened, this was a prank played by her and we all clearly fell for it. She was on a plank all this while and was being lifted by someone from the back. This was a really good prank and we have to give it to her for pulling this off brilliantly.  

We wish this could have been a real exercise regime, half of us would have been the fittest people on earth, though the rest would have still been couch potatoes.

Disclaimer: There will be some spoilers from the second episode and it’s your bad that you haven’t seen the episode yet. Now is the time to catch up, so go and watch it.

We are already in the seventh season of ‘Game of Thrones’, yet it seems as if it was only yesterday we saw Daenerys Targaryen’s badass avatar when she walked out of the fire with a dragon on her shoulder. To refresh your memories, that was in the first season. Talking about Season 1, it was special for many reasons and Arya Stark and her direwolf, Nymeria were one of them.

Let’s take you on a walk down the memory lane, in the first season Arya Stark bid adieu to Nymeria and let’s be honest, that was one of the most emotional scenes to watch, not bigger than Hodor’s death though. Now, fast forward six seasons ahead into the present time and that iconic and unexpected reunion has finally happened in the second episode of season 7, “Stormborn”.

Yes, Arya Stark finally met Nymeria (not from the Sand Snakes), which not only connected the dot left since 2011, but also gave GOT fans across the world a reason to rejoice. Now, while some were expecting Nymeria to have a bigger role to play in fulfilling Arya’s vengeance, looks like the writers brought the two together only to drift them apart after sometime. So, basically it wasn’t a reintroduction of the direwolf character, but a scene only made to appease the fans that were waiting for the two to meet.

The moment Arya was preparing to fight a group of wolves, an enormous female direwolf comes into the picture to stop them and Arya soon recognized who she was. Nymeria leads her own wolfpack now. However, when she begged Nymeria to travel to north with her, she refused and Arya was quick to notice the change in Nymeria. So, they parted their ways with Arya’s last words to her childhood pet being “That’s not you”, which is now etched in our hearts forever. You aren’t a true fan if you still didn’t get the real meaning behind this line. A small hint: the young Arya Stark had a similar conversation with her father, when she was told that she will grow up to be a lady and she had said “That’s not me”.

Apart from this tear-jerking scene, the second episode was brilliantly penned out and was really satisfying to watch. However, this episode has left us with one question. Was Nymeria’s appearance incorporated only for the fans or does she have a bigger role to play in the upcoming episodes?
